New App Features Research-Proven Math Content
that Supports Student Learning in a Digital Classroom
Carnegie Learning, Inc. announced today the introduction of
its newest offering, digitalACE™. digitalACE is an iPad-based
application featuring Carnegie Learning’s research-proven core
mathematics content for Grades 6–12.
digitalACE was designed to address the challenge of encouraging
students to learn mathematics deeply and robustly in the very
limited amount of instructional time available in the 21st century
classroom. By combining its learning sciences knowledge base with
its technical expertise, Carnegie Learning has created an
interactive application that supports active learning in middle and
high school math classes. With digitalACE, it is now possible for
teachers to access all middle school and core high school lesson
content regardless of the grade level they are teaching. With this
innovative app, educators are able to develop a course curriculum
that meets their teaching objectives and their students’ learning
goals.
“digitalACE is built for today’s students. The app represents a
complete rethinking of the traditional textbook concept,” said Erin
Simmons, chief operating officer for Carnegie Learning. “It
empowers students to own how they interact with the math content,
choose how they express their reasoning with interactive features,
and engage with real-world mathematics in a digital device. In
addition, educators are able to customize and create their own
curricula; access student work in real-time; provide feedback; and
select, organize, and present student responses all within the
app.”
Carnegie Learning paid close attention to the research regarding
both student understanding and management of classroom time when
developing digitalACE. The features within the app not only build
on the ability of technology to enhance student learning, but also
allow teachers to implement mathematics instruction in a way to
optimize that learning and overcome constraints such as limited
time in the classroom or meeting multiple student needs within a
single-teacher classroom.
digitalACE was introduced at the company’s recent 2015 Digital
Learning Summit, during which educators shared best practices and
strategies for leveraging digital tools to enhance student
learning. Attendees were able to attend a local school currently
utilizing digitalACE and other digital learning technologies in
their mathematics classrooms. Additionally, attendees heard from
two industry learning experts, Dr. John Almarode, Visible
LearningPLUS Trainer and Assistant Professor at James Madison
University, and Julia Freeland Fisher, JD, Director of Education
Research at Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive
Innovation.
